Method
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cacao powder, maple syrup, vanilla extract, milk, and chia seeds.2 tablespoons cacao powder, 2 tablespoons maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 cup milk, 1/4 cup chia seeds
- Whisk the ingredients together vigorously until everything is well combined and there are no large clumps of cacao powder.
- Let the mixture sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This allows the chia seeds to begin the gelling process.
- After 15 minutes, give the mixture one final whisk to break up any clumps of seeds that may have settled at the bottom.
- Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator. Let it chill for a minimum of 4 hours, though leaving it overnight produces the best texture.
- When ready to serve, remove from the fridge and stir with a spoon. Divide the pudding into small dessert glasses and add your favorite toppings like fruit or chocolate shavings.Fresh raspberries, Chocolate shavings, Coconut whipped cream, Nuts or seeds
Notes
If you prefer a completely smooth texture rather than the traditional tapioca-like consistency, you can place the mixture into a high-powered blender and blitz it until it becomes a smooth chocolate mousse. Additionally, if the pudding isn't thickening after the initial 15-minute rest, your chia seeds might be too old and should be replaced.
